The World of Beasts: She's Got Their Hearts novel Chapter 50

"When I couldn't find that thing in the Lordship Estate, I started suspecting that you had hidden it in the darkroom. But the therians from Ethereal Fang Alliance said it was cursed, so I didn't dare act recklessly. And yet, here you are, bringing her out on your own."

Wayne walked toward Sawyer at a measured pace.

"Sawy, I've never treated you unfairly. If you wanted the lordship, you could have just told me. I would've discussed it with Karl and even considered stepping down for you.

"But you're too ruthless and unable to tell right from wrong. Maybe before, you were deceived and didn't realize how dangerous this thing was.

"Now, after what happened with the Ethereal Fang Alliance, are you still going to be this stubborn? Are you really willing to risk the lives of Ironhorn Alliance's people?" Wayne asked.

He stopped just three feet away from Sawyer.

Meanwhile, Analise and the others casually stepped forward as they watched the scene unfold.

"Lieutenant Hansen, didn't you ask for my opinion earlier?" Analise said with a smirk. "Your story is well-crafted, but your emotions are off, and you're fidgeting too much."

"We did help you contact the security force, but since you've colluded with the Vexoths, I'm afraid you'll be spending the rest of your life in Interstellar Prison."

Analise crossed her arms, and her gaze kept drifting toward the robot female.

"You're lying! I never colluded with the Vexoths!"

Sawyer's expression changed instantly.

"They took my mate! Why would I work with them? I hate them more than anything!" he roared.

"This robot female is all the proof we need," Analise said as she pointed at it.

Sawyer gritted his teeth as he spoke. "This is just a fake female with Vexoth venom implanted in it! I didn't collude with them!"

Scott sneered. "When you made a deal with the Reclaimers, did they not tell you that this robot female was a new Vexoth creation designed to destroy therians?"

"Even if you didn't realize it before, after what happened with the Ethereal Fang Alliance, do you still not see it?" he pressed.

"No, they wouldn't lie to me. She looks just like her, and she wouldn't betray me."

Sawyer mumbled as his head hung low. Then, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha… And how exactly can you prove anything? I found this thing in Wayne's darkroom, so now I suspect he's the one working with the Vexoths!

"Finding this fake female in his darkroom is the best evidence. With so many alliance members outside, who can say for sure?"
